The 2K Team is: Peter Davies IT Director (he's a Welshman and we dont hold it against him) he has a proper executive job down London way somewhere as well as working with us, Ian Voce who now heads up our on site IT & Shipping (he has just developed a hand held 'beepy thing' system for our stock control and is the only one who can work our 'Sprog' - way over our heads as were just simple modellers - when he is away we just use paper) He has retired from a very important job in Leeds! Miss Craigie McMillan - Also known as 'one job' - post labeling division, goods inwards, talking to dogs, babies, small children, ex school friends and giving out ginger bread boys Department & is my long suffering partner - (how lucky she is!) However I have her on the transfer list just in case i get any takers for £1 - its just gone up to £2 with free delivery....................Then there's her mate Jane Marsh, packing division (who talks us to death, on and on and on about nothing! - no wonder she is on her 2nd husband and he's out a lot) we look forward to the quert when she has a day off! - she is our longest serving employee (not sure how though),....................Then there's Me Julie who has joined us about a year ago to help out with all the packing, she is a good talker as well! even talking to herself while she packs parcels!. Then We have 'Perfect' Pauline who sits in her 'harry potter' office under the stairs, shouts a lot at me, sorts administration, pays the bills does polite Customer services, (ive been taken off that) sales and purchases and is very important (and has just moved into her new perfect house so she is very happy), and Goes on Posh Holidays and she was 51 in August!, and does not like boats or campervans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....... Now then we have Justin many Jobs who helps with everything including bright ideas, shop re fitting, purchasing, order picking, stock control & base board manufacture and does model shows and window fitting in his spare time. Just joined us is Julie A who has come to help (when she is not dog walking) with the uploading of stock onto our ebay store and our new web site which is under construction by Brian and his team at Electric Design in Leeds ............................Then theres my parents who have recently been exiled to Kirby Stephen (long storey, something to do with my sister) ---------- Father is chief book keeper - well he likes talking to Debbie our Accountant - (well we all do) Then there's Mother who sorts out all the sales invoices for father to upload - just to make sure he has got them right!................ Then we have Jessica (eats all the Biscuits and likes very tall & very brave boys) who left us to go to University in Wales BUT has come back now after only a year - I understand she was not good at Welsh? and has only learnt 'Araf' as its painted on the roads. In the holidays and on Saturdays we have Rebecca who does a lot with the Scouts and has been down to a big posh palace in London for a badge! (its not for washing up - trust me!) and is good at knots and whittling and is very brainy and gets lots of 'A's, and is at Universty in York. We now have Tasha (Mini Me) who is Paulines Daughter who is being 'fastracked' to help in all areas when she gets a bit older. Then theres Lottie Shaw - well she might as well work for us as she turns up everyday (and every night) with her parcels for us to post - she makes the 'Lottie Shaw'(Have you seen her on TV?) brand of Yorkshire Cakes we keep in stock (not that well as we keep eating them)and her Dad has a traction engine and drives real steam engines in the Lakes so he must be ok! To keep things international and ensure a good supply of Vodka, we have appointed Sergey in Moscow as director of our Russian division we have adopted his dog as our mascot! (if you want to buy any land in Moscow he's the man to see - no he does not have a black Range Rover). We also now have Alison (dog lover as well) who is very organised and works for Royal Mail and comes to see us everyday at 14:30 to collect a van load of parcels, so if you have ordered it in time it will be on her van! However no one - not even Alison seems to know what happens to the parcels after she has collected them as some seem to disapear into the Royal Mail black hole for up to 10 days! Then we have Adie, Josh & Steve who collect our UK mail parcels - the ladies all look forward to there arrival each day - not sure why but it could well be the shorts? Then theres me the grumpy fat old man (Yes our 7 year old Grandaughter says I look older than my Father) David Watson and I do everything else.....which seems to annoy everyone - they were all pleased when I had a week off in February after my double hernia operation that was performed by one of our customers (they want to ask him if he can take me back into hospital for an extended period) - I am now thinking of ordering a brown coat like open all hours to keep in character and then theres the 7 cats and the dog named Peppa Pig...
After Christmas eve we have decided to adopt Gusto's in the market place in Settle as our favourite Italian restaurant - Run by Phillipa and Paul - its worth a visit! but its only 5 tables so ring Phillipa and book and dont upset Paul as he is from Pontefract..................and rides scooters!
Ring us if you have a question or wish to pay for goods, if we dont answer we are out or asleep or running round like headless chickens, leave a message I will ring you back, if we dont ring you back please ring again as we havent got your message! (people who want a proper answer should ask for Pauline). We am happy to answer any questions no matter how trivial (like us) and give Yorkshire help and advice (we tell it like it is here). I have been modelling for 50 years now!(told you I was old).........................
I am told we now have a 'facebook' page whatever that is.... which seems to cause a lot of excitement amoungst the Ladies here. I understand that there are photos of the shop, lost dogs, grandchildren, campervan trips, links to Gustos, Blue Bell Inn at Kettlewell etc on there for you to look at!
